After 14 years at the nursery we have decided that it is time to move on to other projects.

We would like to thank all our customers, colleagues and friends for their support, which has made running Pioneer Nurseries such a happy and stimulating experience.

John Hoyland will continue his work advising on gardens and on new horticultural projects, and writing articles for national magazines and newspapers. Nick Downing will be pursuing a new career. The cats will stay at the nursery with the new owners, and Milly the dog will be spending a well-earned retirement in her armchair.
